Pork and Shrimp Sausage

[Tenpoint5]

I was in the Mad Scientist mode this morning, instead of cutting my grass. I have been Jonesing for some more of that Pork and Craw-fish sausage that CRG brought up to the Smoke Out. Since Sonny isn't making any trips up this way anytime soon. I needed to come up with a substitution the fix me up. The sausage I came up with is a combination of a recipe I found and the substitutions I had to make cause I either didn't have the ingredient or didn't want to put it in there. Here is what I came up with. It is a one pound batch so you can try it and if you like it then you can make bigger batches.

Pork and Shrimp Sausage

1 teaspoon       Cayenne Pepper
1 teaspoon       Fine Sea Salt
2 teaspoon       Dehydrated Minced Onion
3/4 teaspoon    Black Pepper
3/4 teaspoon    Granulated Garlic
1/4 teaspoon    Allspice
1/2 teaspoon    Thyme
3 Tablespoons + 1/2 teaspoon Water

15 - 51/60 Shrimp diced
1 pound Fresh Ground Pork

Combine all of the above in the water. Mix into the pork and stuff into Hog Casings or make into patties.

That is the recipe here is the How it Happened and what it looks like Pictures.

The Pork



The Shrimp



The Spices



Everybody all mixed up



A Patty close up



The three left over patties



On the Grill (SRG)



On my Plate (It was gone before the juices could soak into the paper plate!!)



I am NOT Jonesing anymore!! This is some really great sausage. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am and am going to. I will stuff it into casing the next batch I make. I think it will make it even better, by containing the fats and juices inside of the casing.

Looks good!

Sometimes you can find crawfish tails at WallyMart..  Or Langostinos - they have a similar texture.

Thanks Pat, I will look for them. I was making this mainly for the folks that don't have access to them, that they could use shrimp as a substitution. This is also basically a dry run and since shrimp is cheaper and more readily available I used it.

Dang Chris glad you decided not to mow the lawn !!! They look very good, once in the casing will you treat them like brat, for example boil in beer and grill or just fry off? ever thought of just kidnapping Sonny till he made lots of sausage and then turn him loose till ya ran out?

I would suggest treating them like a Brat or any other fresh sausage and just flop them on the grill until they is done. Or make into patties if you don't have a sausage stuffer.

I wuz thinking about that...
The crawfish does cost way more, but seems like, if you used shrimp...
(and maybe some crawfish, like you suggested, Sonny)

What if you bought whole shrimp in the shell?
Would be more work, but boiling down the shrimp shells and heads for a stock in place of water...?
Just thinking out loud....
